Raveon Releases Secure AVL System for Public Safety
Raveon Technologies announced a stand-alone Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) system for law-enforcement, police, fire, and other public safety use. Using their M7 series GPS Transponder, and Raveon's RavTrack PC(TM) AVL software application, Raveon's RavTrack system is the fastest tracking system available, with truly real-time tracking, monitoring, and reporting.
"Real-Time" tracking is claimed by most every AVL provider, but Raveon's RavTrack(TM) system offers update rates and latency orders-of magnitude faster than other providers, with no recurring costs. It also allows Real-Time in-vehicle location display on PCs and standard Navigation computers. Users experience enhanced situational awareness - unavailable with any other technology.
First-responders can easily see where others are located and when they will arrive. Because the RavTrack system does not use third-party radio networks, command-and control can rely on RavTrack to work in the worst of disasters, and in remote areas where coverage is uncertain.
The RavTrack AVL system enables chiefs, dispatchers and supervisors to track vehicles over an area of tens to hundreds of square miles. It does not use GPRS or any other public wireless network, so it works everywhere and is reliable even when public networks fail. It is also very economical because there are no recurring charges. RavTrack has the unique ability to allow all M7 GPS transponders to not only transmit their position, but also receive position and status from other units. This allows all M7 Transponders to be able to run RavTrack PC and see the location of all other M7s in the system.
Raveon's M7 Transponders feature the fastest position update rates in the industry (up to 10/second), with latency less than ½ of a second from transmission to display. With this high-speed update capability, RavTrack is the fastest real-time tracking system of any commercial AVL system.
The RavTrack AVL system has many technological advantages over ordinary AVL systems. These include:
Real-time - Position and status updates are available as quickly as every second. No other tracking system has as fast an update rate as RavTrack.
Complete Solution - Everything needed to track a vehicle, person, or asset is provided. No public networks such as Internet, cell-service, GPRS, Edge, SMS, or satellite service is needed.
In-Vehicle Displays - RavTrack PC as well as various Garmin and Lowrance displays may be used to display location information. Users know where everyone else within radio range is located.
No Monthly Fees - Because no external services are required, there are no recurring costs for a RavTrack system.
GEO-Reporting - Dispatchers, chiefs, and supervisors can monitor the location of vehicles, report on their position and areas patrolled, and re-play vehicle location from a historical log file.
Works Anywhere - RavTrack does not rely upon public wireless services, so RavTrack systems work when and where you need it - even when public radio networks fail.
Input Monitoring - Connect sirens, firearm sensors, lights, ignition, or other inputs to the M7, and report and alarm on these inputs.
Secure - All position and status reports are securely encrypted.
Any image, geo-tiff, or bit-map may be imported into RavTrack PC to use as its map display. RavTrack PC runs on Windows XP or Vista PC, and may be used in a stand-alone configuration or multi-user. It logs system activity to an SQL database, prints reports by vehicle, by date, by time, by zone, or by activity. It alerts the operator to rule violations (speeding, geo-fences, proximity,...), and plots tracks on-screen.
The RavTrack AVL system is an ideal tool for first responders, public safety, emergency response, park rangers, construction supervisors, blue-force tracking, and airport flight side operations.
